Russell Westbrook says he has an idea which Rockets were laughing at one of his teammates
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Russell Westbrook has been playing a lot of defense lately, but not the type were used to seeing on the court. A day after Westbrook got into a testy exchange with a reporter while defending his supporting cast, the MVP candidate was back at it Monday.
Westbrook was asked about an incident that occurred late in the Thunders 113-109 loss, in which Rockets players were caught on camera laughing at Andre Roberson as he struggled at the free-throw line.
Westbrook admitted he did not see the sequence but offered his best guess as to who was likely laughing.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"Probably the guys who don't play are the ones over there laughing, if I had to guess," Westbrook said.
It appeared a number of players on the Rockets got a kick out of seeing Roberson, who is 2 of 17 from the line this series, struggle late in the fourth.
The Thunder have to hope Roberson snaps his funk at the line soon if they want to extend a series in which they trail 3-1.
